Do not use these for testing braid, they do NOT work. Results are 30% low.

ding ding ding....I think this is a winner. Every thing he says not to do
to line prior to testing is what and angler does to line.
Even the above illustration suggests a possible 30% loss in strength.
how is it different from a line coiled around the spool and the other
end tied to terminal tackle.....It is the same.
30% would account for my numbers to be accurate.
Wow....blows my mind.
Thanks....at least I don't feel robbed anymore....just ignorant.
